Macallan Gold was released in 2012 as part 1824 range which replaced the distilleryâs age-statement expressions. It was produced using 9-15 year old first fill and refill sherry casks, which has resulted in an incredibly smooth and rich single malt. One of the fine examples for the âage doesnât matterâ camp⦠Soft gold in colour, this is the lightest of the Macallan 1824 range, but still packed with typical speyside Macallan flavours.
A lemon citrus nose, with zesty orange peel and oaky vanilla notes. The palate reveals a light sweet flavour, more citrus, apples and ginger spices, but in no way overpowering. Overall a slightly sweet and malty whisky, easy going and fresh.
